Lonzo Ball’s Dad Still Thinks His Son Is Better Than Steph Curry

Because I care about you and don’t want to subject you to direct contact with Undisputed on FS1, I took the time to watch a clip that features Lonzo Ball’s dad, LaVar, saying to Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe that his son is a better basketball player than two-time reigning MVP Steph Curry.

If you’re older, think of me as Spock subjecting myself to radiation poisoning so Kirk and the crew can live in that Star Trek movie. If you’re younger, think of me as Kirk doing the same thing and being magically revived in that newer Star Trek movie.

Here’s how the Ball-Curry conversation went down with the nation’s leading Basketball Dad:

Shannon: Do you think you might’ve went out on a limb a little too far when you said your son, who’s a college freshman at UCLA, is better than Steph Curry, a two-time MVP with the last time being unanimous?

LaVar: No.

OK, so there’s more, but that’s a really funny way to answer a question like that.

Shannon: Do you think you might’ve went out on a limb a little too far when you said your son, who’s a college freshman at UCLA, could beat up Superman, who possesses superhuman strength, can fly and can’t be defeated with Earth’s weapons?

Better than Steph? He’s not even better than Seth at this point in time. If Ball doesn’t flame out due to injury and/or a screwed up noggin thanks to Pops, he still has to, you know, square up against actual NBA talent.

In other news, Skip Bayless still looks exactly like mayo left out in the sun for a week and has half the intelligence. Sharpe is so terrible he should go back to Boxing in the Special Olympics, which is the only explanation for his on air “personality” day after day.

But he’s not saying that Lonzo is going to be better than Curry, which is a completely defensible position, he’s saying he’s already better than a two time MVP who has a championship under his belt already. That’s an absurd statement. That would’ve been like Jellybean saying in 1997 that Kobe is already better than Jordan.
